    Yes, females are at least half our nation’s thinking power. Lets do all we can to bring these girls up to speed and restore balance to the force.

      This article is not really about mathematical talent. It mentions that stereotypes might be reproduced by attributing success in girls to diligence and in boys to talent, but it’s about mathematical ability.

      At the start of the first school year (when children are five or six years old), there are no differences, on average, between boys and girls in mathematical ability. But after just four months, boys have pulled ahead. The gap widens throughout the year.

    they already closed the gap and surpassed men on biology related degrees and are able to get jobs in thier field. not so much on the engineering or the physics fronts. it is a matter of time before they surpass men on that too.
